costco boots (like uggs) how do they compare??

[dis2cruise]

are they the same type of quality?? they are about $90 cheaper than the uggs my dd wants for christmas and she said she doesn't care is we purchase the costco
brand because she told me she'd get more gifts that way, gotta love those teens however i want to make sure they will last at least a season and that they don't fall apart.

I am wondering the same thing. I would like to buy a pair for myself but I want them to last for at last a season.

I love them! I have a pair of real Uggs that developed a hole during the first couple months I wore them. Not so with my Costco knockoffs - they are sturdy, strong, warm and cushy. I like them so much I've asked my DH for another color for xmas!

I have never seen them at Costco, do they carry them every year?

I LOVE THEM! They are fantastic quality. So soft and warm. My DD's friends couldn't believe they were not real Uggs. Maybe they are but unbranded in the Costco way. No idea, but I am on my second year of them and they are still perfect.

I love mine that I bought last year. They have held up very well and are warm and cushy. My only complaint is that they are so flat inside with no arch support and my feet start to hurt after a long day of walking with them on, but I think this is the same with Uggs and not specific to the Costco boots.

My daughter has real Uggs and often wears mine just to have an different color. I just bought her the Costco ones in black (very hard to find around here!) and she was thrilled. At first it was very important to have the "real" Uggs but it seems after having one pair of real ones it didn't matter if she wore the copy ones from Costco ( does that make sense???)

So to answer the original poster, yes they are great, not cheap in quality at all and I would highly reccomend them.

So far I have seen them every year for the past couple of years. Great value at $35.

I am happy to hear that they are just as good as the Uggs. I will be adding them to my Christmas list as my dh just said he had no idea what to get me.

GREAT TO KNOW!!! Thanks for posting. I was about to buy her a true Uggs. I was not sure of the sizing was going to post. I saw your thread and have now decided to buy her Costco Uggs. We live in FL and I know she won't wear them as often as if we lived up north.

I've bought some the past 2 years and have bought them for my SIL also the past 2 xmases and both of us love them! I trashed mine the first year by wearing them so much, but last year I sprayed them with protectant and they look awesome still for this year. I think they are a great deal. Now, saying that I have never had original UGGS, so I can't compare the two in quality. I do think the Costco ones are decent IMO. I didn't see them the other day when I was at my Costco but they have had them the past 2 years.

Does anyone know if these come in kids sizes (not toddler). My 13 year old wears a size two and found some at Walmart that were the worst quality. I'd like to get her a good pair.

Awww, I want a Costco!! My daughter has been salivating over getting some Uggs but I just can NOT afford it. She knows it and won't say anything, but I can see her face when she sees them =/

 

[dis2cruise]

hey thanks everyone for all of your possitive responses. I picked her up a black pair for christmas today

For those who have them already, how much do the Costco boots stretch? I was looking at them last week and couldn't decide on whether to get an 8 (a tiny bit loose) or a 7 (a bit too snug) The box said to go with the smaller size because they stretch but I'm afraid that the 7s might stay too small. 2 other women were trying them on when I was and had the same question.

She will love them! I found my black pair on LI too, but never see them at other Costcos.

I'd not get them a little big. They sort of adjust to fit the foot size. Wear they thickness of socks you'll use with them, and go from there.

So I wear an 8 1/2 and bought the 9's and found they did stretch some, but really not a lot. They still fit nicely and don't fall down.

And, I don't recall ever seeing kids sizes. too bad I would love some for DD.

I bought the 7s and the 8s so I could try them out at home--it was too hard to make a decision in the store, and I was scared to buy a 7 since usually a 7 1/2 is quite snug on me. But I'm returning the 8s since they're a little big. The box is right, they do stretch, even the 7s are a little loose--in fact when I wore them to go out this evening I had to double-check, they felt loose enough for me to think that I'd put on the 8s by mistake!

They're a very nice quality, really soft, warm and comfy!

Are these on Costco.com?

I can't find them.

I am glad to have found this thread and that everyone likes their Costco boots. I bought 3 pair for my 3 daughters for Christmas.

I don't know whether they're on the website--I found mine in the store. A month ago they had a tall pile on the table. Now what they have looks picked-over--not too many colors or sizes left and the boxes are getting banged up.
